The Union Medicale asserts that some
persons are sensitive to impressions of
color from sounds. 1t state that DR..
Nussbaumer OF Vienna was the first to
note this regularity, which existed in
n of his brothers. DR.. Pedrono, an
ophthalmologist Of Nantes, has studied
it recently in one of his friends with
these results: A sharp note produces
brighter and fiat note a darker impress
sion of color. Music from different
instruments give different chromatic
sensations. A melody played upon the
!saxophone gave the impression Of yell
low; upon the clarinet, red; upon the
piano, blue. All sounds, musical or
otherwise, give impressions in these
cases proportional to their intensity.
The human voice gives more delicate
impressions; in chanting they we're more
marked, the predominating cOlors being
yellow, green, red and blue. "The
seat of the COLOR" said M. Pedrono's
patient, sis seen where the sound comes
from; but whether / see the person " not

people are peaceable, they are very
brave. The sheep have no wool, and
but very little hair. In the forest
there is a dark fierce species of cattle

because the fear with which the natives

CORN OR OATS FOR HORSES The
comparative value of corr and oats for
horses may be briefly stated as follows:
The former Is deficient in many of the
elements OF nutrition so necessary for
recuperating the constant wear and
tear which necessarily takes place in
the body Of a living animal. On this
account horses which are exclusively
fed on corn and hay do not receive that
kind OF nourishment which appears
necessary for the due support and
maintenance Of the animal fabric.
Hence, we must not be surprised that
c0rn-fed horses show evidence of be-
ing languid by sweating profusely
while being worked, lack of vitality,
etc. Oats, on the contrary. contain
more Of the essential elements of nut
rition than any other article of food
which can be fed with impunity to
horses. Oats are not only the
most natural food for horses, but are
decidedly tie most nutritious. They
are b icheapest, because there Is less

other article of food.

WATER FOR PoULTRY.-A farmer
bought last fall thirty turkeys and had
about the same number of his own.
Those he bought he got home the day
before he killed them, and fed the
whole flock what barley they would
eat, but the strange birds did not know
where the water was, and did not drink.
The next morning they were not fed,
but were killed with expectation of
finding the crop empty by the digestion
of the night. The home birds had
empty crops, but the strange lot had
full crops Of dry barley so that in Dress
Ing them an iDcision had to be made in
the breast to remove the dry grain
half a pint or more from each fowl. If
the crop had been empty the wound
would not have been made on the
breast, but only the inwards drawn
out. The conclusion was that the only
reason the turkeys had full crops was,
because they did not drink water.
Apparently the grain would not have
passed to the gizzar1 from the crop
until Yatex had been taken to moisten
The food.

CABINET MEETING.
The Consideration of important Nation al
Questions.

ASHINGTON, April I.
The cabinet met at II O'Clock today in ac-
cordance with the plan for the summer
months. and remained in session over three
hours. The meeting was devoted almost
exclusively to the consideration of interna-
tional questions most important relating to
the Canadian fisheries policy of Great Brit
am, in regard to the Island of Hayti and the
seal fisheries of Alaska
In regard TO the fisheries question, it is
understood that information has been re-
ceived to the effect that Eugland sustains the
position taken by the Canadian authorities
and is in no wise disposed to make the con
cessions requested by this government. The
question was considered by the cabinet with
a view of the advisability of suitable action
by the President under the provisions of the
retaiatory act.
The alleged demand of Great Britain for
the possession of the Tortugas Islands or the
payment by the Haytian government of ST.
600, 900 in settlement of old claims, was con-
sidered at some length. The United States
have great interests in Hayti, commercial
and otherwise, and are deeply concerned in
its welfare and prosperity Correspondence
will be opened with Great Britain on the
subject.
The Alaska seal fisheries we're discussed
WIN view 10 tnelt oeUer protection Irom
foreign interference. 1t is represented that
the interests are now threatened by wanton
and Wholesale slaughter Of seals in the open
ocean. 1t seems that during the day female
seals leave their young on the shores of the
islands in charge of the males while they 60
miles away in search of food, with which
they return at night. Recently a practice
has sprung up of catching the female seals
while in search of food. The young perish
as a matter Of course and the perpetuation of
the animals is endangered. The difficulty of
controlling this matter arises from the al
legged want of jurisdiction Of our government
over these matters beyond the three mile
limit. The question will be again considered
at future meeting.
